SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE EXCELION BRUSH CUTTER AND GRASS TRIMMER
1– Do not use the metal cutting tools near walls, fences, tree trunks, rocks or similar obstacles. Contact with these types of
elements can cause a rebound effect, increase the risk of ricochet and damage the cutting tool. Pellenc recommends using the
CITY CUT for such work conditions.
Clear the work zone of all obstacles (glass, stone, metal, waste, and other solid objects) as they can be projected when working
with the cutting tool.
Never use the Excelion 2000 Professional brush cutter with only one hand.
2– Always use the machine with the cutting head parallel to the ground. The safety guard no longer provides sufcient protection if
the angle of the cutting head is excessive, which is likely to increase the risk of injury.
3– Shut-off the Excelion 2000 Professional brush cutter immediately if the cutting tool starts responding differently (different noise,
increased vibrations). Check that the cutting tool is properly attached and verify its condition (no distortion, sufciently sharp).
Replace any damaged cutting tool as it can explode and cause serious, even fatal injuries.
4– CAUTION: The cutting tool continues rotating for a few seconds after the control trigger has been released.
Always keep your hands and feet clear of the rotating cutting tool.
5– Cutting wire
• Never remove the blade installed in the safety guard as it trims the wire to the appropriate length.
• Never use metal wire or any other material instead of the nylon cutting wire. Metal wire is likely to break and be projected,
causing serious injuries.
• Only use nylon cutting wire recommended by Pellenc with a max. diameter of 3 mm.
6– Cutting blades
Always use an original Pellenc cutting tool.
Tool usage and maintenance
a. Do not force the tool. Use the tool suited for the job.
b. Do not use the tool if the switch does not allow it to be switched on and off.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack prior to any adjustment, change of accessories, or before
putting the tool away.
d. When not in use, keep tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate it.
e. Comply with the tool servicing instructions. Check that the moving parts are not out of alignment or jammed, that there are
no broken parts or that there is no other condition which could affect the operation of the tool. If damaged, have the tool
repaired before using it.
f. Keep the cutting components sharp and clean.
g. Use the tool, accessories and blades, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be done.
Use of battery-operated tools and usage precautions.
a. Only recharge using the charger specied by the manufacturer.
b. Only use the tools with specically designated battery packs.
c. When a battery pack is not used, store it away from other metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small items which can form a connection from one terminal to another.
d. If in bad condition, a liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid all contact. In the event of accidental contact, clean with
water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek medical help.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
ADJUSTING THE WORKING POSITION
Before using the Excelion 2000 Professional brush cutter, its working position must be adjusted to the operator's size. This makes
it easier for the operator to use and requires little effort.
Adjusting the machine's working position to the operator's size is a 3-step process:
- adjusting the orientation of the handlebar,
- installing and adjusting the harness,
- balancing the machine.
These various adjustments are repeated until the brush cutter is in a suitable working position.
These operations help adjust the position of the handlebar to the shape of the user. Users must not work with their arms stretched
out or completely bent.
ADJUSTING THE ORIENTATION OF THE HANDLEBAR
Take the time to properly adjust your harness and machine. This will guarantee your usage comfort and prevent any
discomfort.

(supplied with the tool)
Adapting the length of the harness helps adjust the "vertical position" of the Excelion 2000 Professional brush cutter so that it is
within reach and the cutting head is pointing slightly downwards.
(This adjustment is made at the same time as the balance adjustment and the orientation of the handlebar).

To optimise the autonomy of your PELLENC battery tool, the rotational speed of the cutting tool used must be adapted to the type
of mowing operation required.
The higher the rotational speed of the cutting tool is, the higher the energy consumption. Therefore the progressive nature of the
control trigger must be used to adjust the rotational speed of the cutting tool.
